thats pretty old news. dont see it picking up. would be a good bike for jungle habitat.

 

[bonefishjake]

lets face it, at this point every wheel size is old news...but the marketing spin is all new!

 

[Wazu]

Couldn't have said it better Bonefish. Plus you need the full 29 inches to "roll over" trouble, especially riding ridgid.

[ArmyOfNone]

Word!

 

[Spylab]

Does this bike come with a free tube stretcher?

And that's why you're all buying 29ers!

650b reminds me of the serial killer character in "There's Something About Mary" and his video proposal for "6 Minute Abs." All the benefit of 7 minute abs, but in even less time!

I'm sticking with my 29er and my 26er. Don't need a bike that splits the difference between the two...

I would think this almost helps the 26er movement. I've been thinking about a 29er for a while but when you see stuff like this, it makes me think, "Why bother with this crap?"

 

[elzoller]

Same here....I guess no sense in looking for my 29er anymore.:hmmm:

26 will be gone

This is following road w/ 700/650. all the components are moving towards cross consolodation as well. I think 650 is great cause i've been feelin bad for all the shrimps that cant even get a leg over the mighty Paragon

WHY DON'T YOU ALL FACE IT !!!

You really want to be ROADIES !!! Smooth over the trials, put on your skinsuits, and grab your road bikes and end it already !!

I predict the next big thing will be drop handlebars !!:rofl:

When the bikes make the trails easier, we just find/build tougher trails to ride...

i completely agree with jamie.. besides, to put things in perspective, i love the 29er concept.. heck, i own two! but at the end of the day my MAIN BIKE is still my 26" wheel 6" travel do everything bike.
